Re: He's in jail on Capitol Murder charges...
His father's rights are limited to what a judge has ordered. What does your common-law husband say he wants to do with his SHARE of the property? Is it your intention to divorce him? Or merely allow time to elapse to terminate the informal marriage? If you dispose of property (by dumping it, or by giving it to a third person) you conceivable might have to reimburse the ex. Since your ex has not been convicted, and since there have been no court orders regarding the property, I would advise a client to store the property until there is a court order.
